  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

  • IH Dublin Profiles
    International House Dublin Incorporating High School Ireland Dear Agent/ Parent, I am delighted to introduce this new guide to the very best of our Irish High schools. Ireland has one of the highest participation rates in second and third level education in the OECD and its standard of educational excellence is recognised worldwide. Due to the fact that even private schools are heavily subsidised by the government, Ireland represents exceptionally good value in terms of cost and quality. We present here a selection of carefully chosen public and private schools, together with a short introduction to the Irish Education system. We have expanded our High School Department, in terms both of staffing and partner schools and I am confident that we can provide a superior service to agents and students at a price which you will find competitive. You will also have the comfort that you are working with International House, an organisation internationally recognised for it’s commitment to quality. I would like to thank our High School team at International House Dublin, under the leadership of Tom Smyth, for putting together a guide which is informative, well structured and easy to use. With every best wish from the staff at High School Ireland/ International House, ________________________ Laurence Finnegan, Director www.ihdublin.com Page | 1 International House Dublin Incorporating High School Ireland WHY STUDY IN IRELAND? Ireland is an English speaking country. Ireland has one of the best education systems in Europe. Irish people are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality which greatly contributes to the ease with which overseas students adapt to student life in Ireland.

PERSONAL MATERIAL 1939-75 50 iii Introduction John de Courcy Ireland, the only child of a British army officer, was born in India on 19 October 1911. His father was killed fighting in World War One. The de Courcy Ireland family was formerly of Robertstown, Co. Kildare. John de Courcy Ireland was educated at a Church of Ireland school in London and at Marlborough College. Both school experiences proved unhappy and at the age of seventeen, John de Courcy Ireland left school in search of adventure. He obtained a job as a steward on a cargo-ship bound for South America and did not return to England until c. 1930. It was this experience which stirred the forces which were to dominate his life –the sea, socialism and a feeling of internationalism with its allied interest in history, culture and languages. John de Courcy Ireland speaks six languages.
